glasgow Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Was just reading a current thread on Sigma plastic tee piece and the recommendation to change it to a brass one. Is the same apply also to the heater plastic tee valve - does it come in metal?Cheers Ahmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vine Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'd leave it as it is. It's under very little strain in that position.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I agree.(I don't think those have ever been supplied by the manufacturer, and all the recommendations I've seen have been for plastic ones from eBay.)Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ah .... the bleed tee .... not a valve. It's ok. I carry a spare ... just in case. In an emergency you can also replace it by joining the hose ends with a short piece of 15mm copper tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishmaninwales Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I had one of these plastic tees fail, but as above easily fixed with copper tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
